Congrats to all the rich Democrats in LA funneling money to another reality star who calls for his political opponents to be jailed.

[David Siffert for Assembly @SiffertForNY]

Half of all New Yorkers are rent burdened, tens of thousands are homeless, and many older adults are finding themselves unable to age in place.

Albany can and must address these issues, lower rents, and make housing more affordable for everyone. Here’s how we can start. 👇

Assembly candidate Ryder Kessler released a video saying he's the "only gay candidate running" to rep the district "home to the queer liberation movement."
But he's not the only queer candidate running. David Siffert is non-binary, and they'd make history if elected

Sincere question: do Trump supporters who genuinely want to reduce political violence actually think that lobbing transparently hypocritical accusations about the left's rhetoric is in any way effective?

Are we really gonna go through another cycle where MAGA folks point out incendiary rhetoric on the left without ever acknowledging that some of the most violent and incendiary rhetoric in America comes from the President and his supporters? Do you not think the rest of the country has eyes and ears?

It's truly awful that President Trump has been the target of political violence. It's also truly awful how he's frequently talked about his political opponents: accusing them of treason, amplifying calls for their execution, publicly celebrating their death, calling them scum, garbage, vermin, animals. It was like 3 weeks ago that he threatened the annihilation of an entire civilization! It was just a few months ago that he and his White House knowingly smeared two Americans who'd been killed by federal agents as domestic terrorists!

I hate political violence. I hate what happened last night. Probably 99% of Americans agree. But let's not insult everyone's intelligence by pretending that the most powerful person in the world isn't a huge part of the problem here.
